SUBJECT: E. ACCIDENT ANALYSIS AND LOSS PREVENTION

EFFECTIVE: 3/15/86

Each campus, location or health care facility shall develop an appropriate method
for the analysis of accidents or occurrences which produce bodily injury or property
damage. Such analysis should include: frequency of occurrence, severity of outcome
and site of accident of a particular type of injury or nature of injury. Such analysis
should provide the Campus SO with necessary information to establish trends of accident
occurrence and, as such, should suggest appropriate preventive measures to be undertaken.

Loss prevention activities on the part of the Campus SO shall be consistent with
the priorities and objective of the respective location considering past accident
trends and newly identified exposure to specific hazards. Loss prevention methods
will take various approaches. Among these are:

The safety inspections of premises and equipment.

The specific safety and health education (e.g. driver training, machine operation
and instruction and use of safety and health equipment).

The use of equipment and machinery according to design and safety manuals.

The consulting with various departments on the planning of new activities, programs
and construction.
